New membership high after NEC

Membership of the Pike Anglers Club hit a new high of 2160 this week, with the stall at the NEC Go Fishing 2007 show bringing in 26 new members .

When the current committee took over in May, the club had 1830 members and the figure stood at 2129 by the end of the traditional membership year in September.

One of the committee's targets is to take membership over the 3000 mark by the time we hand over to our successors, in May 2009.

Don't forget, if you;re already a member, you get an entry into the draw to win a brand new Sea Nymph fishing boat every time you recruit a friend using one of our new membership forms, which you can even print out and download online.

About the PAC

The Pike Anglers' Club of Great Britain was formed in 1977 as a direct result of changing attitudes toward pike. For far too long pike had been regarded by fishery owners and some anglers as vermin, to be killed and removed at all costs. Since it's inception, the PAC has done much to drastically change this mistaken attitude and pike are now widely regarded as a positive element in the natural balance of any fishery.

Pike fishing has without doubt become one of the most specialised branches of coarse fishing. Not least in the methods of handling, unhooking and safe return of the fish once caught.

The PAC works continually for the benefit of all pike and pike anglers, we seek only to further the opportunities for pike fishing, whilst preserving all that pike fishing is all about.

We strive to protect pike from persecution by those who do not understand, or choose to ignore, the facts about the important role the pike plays in the balance of nature. We also work to promote pike conservation through safe practice by anglers.
